SUPER Bowl LX is set for Feb. 9, Monday morning local time, with the Seattle Seahawks (14-3) facing the New England Patriots (14-3). We asked seven NFL fans which team they are rooting for — and why. Here’s what they had to say:

• Edward Dela Cruz Jr.

“Seahawks will dominate the Pats. (1) They knocked out my Broncos, and (2) they are not beating the No. 1 scoring defense in the league. I know they knocked out the Texans, but it’s not happening with Seattle. I want payback. Go Seattle!”

• Rep. Thomas John DLC Manglona

“I don’t like either team. Go Raiders!”

• John Blanco

“I pick the Seattle Seahawks to win Super Bowl LX. The last Super Bowl against the Patriots ended with a loss. They are out to prove something and redeem themselves from that epic defeat. The defense they have will put them in position to do so.”

• Marlo Rabauliman

“Defense always tells the truth. Defense brings home the Lombardi. Super Bowl LX belongs to the Seattle Seahawks!”

• Peter Borja

“Rooting for the Patriots. I’ve always been one to choose the underdogs. Also, I’ve got a lot of money riding on their victory. Go Pats!”

• Daryn Roufs

“In general, I think it will be a tough defensive game, and I believe the Seahawks will have the more dominant defense, which will lead to them winning Super Bowl LX, 23–21, on a late field goal. Defense wins championships, and they have a tough, hard-nosed unit that will slow the Patriots down. Plus, as a lifelong Vikings fan, it would be cool to see Sam Darnold — our quarterback last year — win it and continue the ‘maybe next year’ streak for us Vikings fans. What a comeback story that would be. Go Hawks!”

• Jeffrey Javier

“This Super Bowl—and I might get disowned for this—I’m rooting for the Patriots. I was an avid Tom Brady fan, and I see how they still carry the plays and mentality he left behind.”
